Offline Events

Postby jowaldo on Wed Jun 30, 2004 2:19 am

I had a hard time getting my offline events to work, and Steven helped me figure out why it wasn't working.

I had imported some DVD's from dvd profiler. Unfortunately my DB was created before the file types tab was around. There is a field in DB's called "parameter" that points to a file location, which is fine for online movies. Offline movies don't neccesarily have a file location.

The newer versions of xlobby automatically puts a "video_ts.ifo" entry with no path. That way it works with the "File Types" tab and the "offline" event.

Anyways I decided to make quick documentation on how to get offline events working because of this and a few other posts I saw that made it sound like offline events weren't working in the newest builds.

Very good walkthrough Jowaldo. Even I get it now :)

I never thought of setting category to movies (or anything for that matter).

Thanks for the post!
